## Q45AD9 NAMUR Sensor Overview 

The Q45AD9 Series NAMUR Sensor is a rugged, self-contained two-wire sensor designed for use with certified intrinsically safe switching amplifiers and barriers (Approved Apparatus) with intrinsically safe circuits. 

The Q45AD9 Series NAMUR sensor is designed in accordance with DIN 19234 (IEC/EN 60947-5-6) for operation via two-wire connection to an Approved Apparatus controlled by the variable internal resistance of the sensor. 

The sensor varies the impedance across the sensor output, which passes 1 mA or less in the "dark" condition and 2 mA or more in the "light" condition. A highly visible red LED indicator is located beneath a raised transparent dome on top of the sensor. 

- SIGNAL—LED lights red when the sensor sees its modulated light source 

- POWER (Emitters only)—LED lights red when 5 to 15 V dc power is applied 

Multi­turn sensitivity control on top of sensor, beneath a transparent cover, allows precise sensitivity setting (turn clockwise to increase gain). 

Models are available with either a 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) long attached PVC-covered cable, or a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect (QD) connector. Quick disconnect models (with Q in the model number suffix) use MQD9­4.. mating cable (either straight or right angle con­ nector; see "Accessories" on page 9). Contact Banner Engineering for the availability of sensor models with 9 m (30 ft) long attached cable.

## Q45AD9 Ex/HazLoc Applications 

**==> picture [32 x 192] intentionally omitted <==**

## WARNING: 

- Explosive Atmospheres/Hazardous Locations 

- It is the user's responsibility to ensure that all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relat­ ing to the installation and use of this device in any particular application are satisfied. This device must be in­ stalled by a Qualified Person[(1)] , in accordance with this document and applicable regulations. 

## WARNING: 

- Explosion Hazard 

- • Do not disconnect equipment unless the power has been switched off or the area is known to be non­haz­ ardous. 

CAUTION: 

- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Special Conditions for Safe Use 

- • Parts of the enclosure are non­conducting and can generate an ignition­capable level of ESD. • Clean the equipment with only a damp cloth. 

## General Notes and Conditions for Use: 

- See Specifications and Wiring Diagrams for important information concerning entity parameters, permissible locations, electrical connections and certifications. 

- In addition to the warning above concerning user responsibility, the installation must comply with the following: 

   - All installations must comply with all manufacturer's instructions. 

   - ◦ U.S. Installations: The relevant requirements of the National Electrical Code® (ANSI/NFPA­70 (NEC®) and when appropri­ ate ANSI/ISA­RP12.06.01 Installation of Intrinsically Safe Systems for Hazardous (Classified) Locations. 

   - ◦ Canadian Installations: The relevant requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1). ◦ ATEX and IECEx Installations: The relevant requirements of EN IEC 60079-14 and applicable National regulations. ◦ For quick disconnect (QD) models only: Use Banner MQD9-4## cordsets (see "Quick­Disconnect (QD) Cables " on page 9), or suitable M12 quick disconnect cordsets with threaded retaining nut (see "Q45AD9 Specifications" on page 4), The cord­ set must be securely fastened using the M12x1 QD retaining nut to prevent disconnection. Maximum connector torque: 6 ftlbs. 

- Do not attempt any repairs to this device; it contains no field-replaceable parts or components. Tampering and/or replacement with non-factory components may adversely affect the safe use of the system. 

- Approved Apparatus entity parameters must meet the following requirements: 

   - Voc or Vt ≤ Vmax 

   - ◦ Ca ≥ Ci + Ccable ◦ Isc or It ≤ Imax ◦ La ≥ Li + Lcable 

- Sensor Entity Parameters: ◦ Vmax (Ui) ≤ 15 V dc 

   - Imax (li) ≤ 60 mA 

   - ◦ Pi ≤ 225 mW ◦ Ci = 0.3 μF ◦ Li = 0 mH 

- Cable Entity Parameters (if unknown): ◦ Ccable = 60 pF/ft ◦ Lcable = 0.2 µH/ft 

- The ambient operating temperature range of the Sensors is –40 °C to +70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F). 

- For U.S. installations, Class II and III, Division 2 applies only to model numbers ending in a Q suffix. 

- • For intrinsically safe installations, sensors must be used with certified intrinsically safe switching amplifiers and barriers (Approved Apparatus) with intrinsically safe circuits that limit supply voltage and current in the event of failures. 

- Associated Apparatus is not required for installation of the devices within a Division 2 hazardous (classified) location when installed per the National Electrical Code. The maximum voltage for Division 2 installation is 15 V DC. In Division 2 installations (without As­ sociated Apparatus), observe Explosion Hazard warning at the beginning of this section. 

- Associated Apparatus is not required for installation of the devices within a Division 2 hazardous (classified) location when installed in, or through the wall of a suitable enclosure with provision for connection of rigid metal conduit per the Canadian Electrical Code, as acceptable to the local inspection authority having jurisdiction. The maximum rating for Division 2 installation is 15V dc, 60 mA. In Division 2 installations (without Associated Apparatus), observe Explosion Hazard warning at the beginning of this section. 

(1) A Qualified Person is a person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the subject matter and work.

Q45AD9 NAMUR Series Sensor 

- Maximum non-hazardous area voltage that the Approved Apparatus (intrinsically safe circuit) is connected to must not exceed 250 V. 

- Intrinsic safety ground, if required for the Associated Apparatus, shall be less than 1 ohm. 

## Q45AD9 Wiring Connections 

Q45AD9 Series NUMAR sensors are intrinsically safe ONLY when used with certified intrinsically safe switching amplifiers and barriers (Ap­ proved Apparatus) with intrinsically safe circuits. Banner does not manufacture such devices; however, our applications engineers can refer you to suppliers of certified devices that will interface with Banner sensors. 

The user is responsible for proper installation and maintenance of this equipment and must conform with the certification requirements relat­ ing to barriers and to maximum allowable capacitance and inductance of the field wiring. If in doubt about these requirements, our applica­ tions engineers can refer you to the appropriate authority.

## Hydrocarbon Leak Detectors and Water Leak Detection (FM7745 Approval) 

## Models: Q45AD9F(Q) and BTxxxSM900 Glass Fiber 

Performance is compliant as a Hydrocarbon Leak Detector and as a Water Leak Detector when used with BTxxxSM900 glass fiber optic ac­ cessory. 

## Application Notes: 

- The installation must comply with all installation instructions contained in this document. 

- The liquid to be detected must have an index of refraction different from that of air (i.e., typically not clear or colorless). 

- The liquid to be detected must be non­viscous (so that it does not cling to the probe tip) for the optical principle of the probe to func­ tion correctly. 

- The probe must be mounted a minimum of 50 mm (2 in) from a light-colored (e.g., white) or shiny (e.g., stainless steel) background to prevent false proxing in the presence of the fluid. 

- The Q45AD9F(Q) gain adjustment must be used to set the excess gain to an acceptable level to ensure that the amount of internal probe reflection will reliably drop below the threshold level when fluid is present. 

- When the sensor is configured correctly, the liquid contacting the tip causes the Q45 LED light to scatter into the liquid. This allows sensor to detect the liquid and cause a “dark” condition. 

- Scheduled maintenance must include inspecting and cleaning the probe tip to prevent contamination (e.g. dust) from building up on the probe tip. If any damage to the probe tip or the fiber optic cable is found, the damaged item must be immediately replaced. 

## Q45AD9 Specifications
